stuff like “Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you”
Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?
i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it
Cause deep down they understand them. White settlers identifying with other white settlers. Even though they might legitimately disagree with them, fundamentally they don’t see them as a threat to their existence and view the disagreement as purely academic. They understand and are sympathetic to how these people arrived at their views. And really they’re only one hardship away from becoming completely reactionary themselves, as we saw with Covid.
Idk, that’s always been my take.
good take, yep
i can see myself going down the incel path, if circumstances were different and i was AMAB, it coulda happened. therefore i have a certain level of empathy and understanding towards those ppl inherently (not that i give a shit about courting them or whatever, fuck that shit lmao). but with poc i need to actually listen to other people’s perspectives and stuff instead of just inherently getting it. that’s waaay too hard for most white ppl
See also: that episode of the podcast where Amber said “cops are working class” for an hour and a half, aka the one that got me to stop listening.
Amber actually was one of the reasons I stopped listening too, after she went off on people who cut ties with abusive parents “We all hate our parents as teens. Grow up. Get over it.”
I miss matt
I hate that so much. “Leftists pushed me to the right.” No you were always a piece of shit but didn’t realize it until someone accurately called you out on it. Am I supposed to coddle people who are deliberately calling me the wrong pronoun? Am I supposed to be nice to my cousins who are active Klan members?
When I’ve unionized we’ve inevitably worked with reactionary people who have incorrect priorities. The best way to get them to shut up is show them they’re outnumbered and to tell them to shut the fuck up. Bullying works.
I don’t want the approval of fascists, I want them either dead or so afraid of speaking that they don’t.

Because crackers, ‘progressive’ or regressive, will always bear water and run defense for white supremacy before they ever consider liberating the subjects of empire that they feel entitled to camaraderie from and companionship with. It never fails. It’s the same root from which springs the perennial “we don’t have a race issue in Amerika, just a class issue” out of radlibs and anarchists, it’s the same root from which springs the “well he was no angel, clearly he deserved it” out of the copsuckers and conservatives.
Crackers will always close ranks around their own before they ever think about reparating or restituting. “Leftists” like Amber are exactly why I don’t trust the white left, and only organize with Black formations and organizations anymore.

Marginalized groups should be in charge of their own liberation. If privileged people actually want to help, they should get behind the marginalized groups and follow, not grandstand over them trying to take power and acting with a white savior complex
I hate that this is the connection my brain made here but recency bias got me…
A recent BadEmpanada vid contrasted the white anti-apartheid activists in south africa joining the black resistance orgs, vs the israeli “anti-apartheid” types almost exclusively forming their own little NGOs among themselves and condemning actual resistance groups.
Same shit throughout history
we don’t have a race issue in Amerika
I can’t even imagine someone saying this IRL without getting dogpiled. fucking hell
The “common knowledge” amongst normie libs and Chuds is that America is the least racist country on Earth, and actually it is the dastardly Chinese that are the real racists
